Suggestion
More an asthetic change rather than anything else from what I have heard and observed (I have only driven a Tiptronic twice on test drives) - but the Tip switches seem quite well designed and located for when giving it some beans.
Leading evidence: 'Replace rather than anything else' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

At the end of the day I didn't even use the paddles that often preferring to drive in auto mode.

In brief, I have a 996 C4S Tiptronic and I can't believe there is not a conversion kit to add paddles behind the wheel instead of using the wheel buttons (surely can't be hard to do).
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

flappy paddle box was good when it worked and didn't flash up "Automatic gearbox failure.
I know I asked this question about a year ago, but I remember getting a few people saying they were looking for this too and wondered if anyone had found/developed anything yet.
In brief, I have a 996 C4S Tiptronic and I can't believe there is not a conversion kit to add paddles behind the wheel instead of using the wheel buttons (surely can't be hard to do).
Anyone any ideas?

For those too idle to register here's what it looks like......
When I test drove a 997 tip (b4 I bought HD1) I was disappointed only to have buttons, so flappy paddles would be a huge improvement...the M3 CSL I drove had SMG flappy paddles and I loved 'em......
Oh dear Tim, you've admitted you owned a Fiat!!!!!!
Although I must admit when I was looking for a shopping car the Stilo Abarth did make it to my list as it seemed great value for money.
I did yes
, got a great deal on it at the time, brand new, £5k off list with every toy on it (made the shocking depreciation marginally easier). unfortunately the old adage Fix It Again Tomorrow was very true of this car...... it went beautifully when it went (which was generally about 60% of the time....) but shocking MPG and reliability.
flappy paddle box was good when it worked and didn't flash up "Automatic gearbox failure. return to dealer slowly" when doing 80 on the motorway.... :shock:
I did this conversion on a BMW with the steptronic, quite simple but nearly a £1000 (M3 SMG steering wheel airbag etc). and lets face it you don't really gain alot at the end of the day its still an Autobox.
At the end of the day I didn't even use the paddles that often preferring to drive in auto mode.

The buttons are a BAD design fault IMO. They are hopeless when gripping the wheel and driving aggresively. Paddles are designed to be driven and used at the same time, i think the buttons are in completely the wrong place, to take your thumb off the wheel when going round a corner, or when you're holding on to the steering wheel whilst hard acceleration is wrong!
Interesting I didn't think they were 2 bad, if you go for the paddles do you know if they are the type that move with the wheel like BMW SMG or the type fixed to the steering column - Ferrari - which type do you think is better?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
